While the weather is dry and warm
every man, woman and child should
make it his or her business to keep
in the open-air as much as possible,
so as to derive every benefit from the
ozone and sunshine. Fresh air is* a

kills bacteria. No person who leads
an outdoor life will ever die from con

By order of General Chaffee, who
commands the Department of the East,
a comprehensive system of army ath

department will be divided into ten
districts, In each of which meets will
be held. The winners in each "event"
will then constitute a district team,
and between the teams there will be
an anrrual contest at West Point. The
exercises will consist of bayonet races,
equipment races, jumping, tent-peg
ging, skirmishing, hurdling and gen
eral gymnastics. General Chaffee hopes
by this plan not only to improve the
physique of his troops, and to give
them some of the special training
which West Pointers receive, but also
to raise the moral standard by pro

The meanest man has been found.
His wife, abused and neglected by
him, was dying. He asked his em

But Instead of going to his wife's bed
side he boarded a car for the bail
game where he occupied a seat in the
grandstand and yelled as loudly as
any of the rooters. When told that
his wife was dead he expressed no
concern. Although free in expendi
ture, he said he had no money for
funeral expenses and that the county
could bury the remains. The poor
wife's body found a resting place in
a pauper's grave. The brute did not
even go to the cemetery. And you
say there is no hell? You say the
scourge of remorse will make this
man suffer? It wouldn't make a dent
in his conscience in a hundred years.

In old days, when cities were sur
rounded by walls, and had gates which
were closed at sunset, the "freedom of
the city" meant a key delivered in a
beautiful casket, and perhaps an il
luminated parchment. The old custom
has never died. Even the time-honored
nam« still clings to the practice by
which a city, acting as host, bestows
formal and dignified hospitality upon
a distinguished guest Note that it is
still the city which does* this. The
smallest political unit, not the largest,
is the one which figures uiost often and
most extensively as an entertainer.
The nation entertains only the most
distinguished of individuals or those
of the highest rank. The same is true
of the State, the next political unit
But the cities—how they open their
arms to the thousands, and in the best
sense of the word give them "the free
dom of the city!" Once a year the
members of the Grand Army gather
for their reunion and parade, it may
be in Portland, Me., or it may be in
San Francisco. Once a year, too, other
organizations gather, like the great ed
ucational association, or the Christian
Endeavorers, and with each successive
year a new host comes forward, and
in the most hospitable way tries to
make its guests comfortable and hap
py. It would be difficult to measure
the good that these meetings "do. The
free-handed Westerner goes away
from his visit to the "Hub" with a
feeling that Eastern people are not so
cold and reserved or so "effete" as he
had thought; and the Boston girl finds
her sister from Nebraska or Kansas
to be very like herself in heart and
purpose, only a little more alert, per
haps, and less conservative. So East
and West and North and South come
nearer together and think better of
each other for these intervisitings. The
benefit is never one-sided. It is not
alone the stranger within the gates
who gets something out of it—the host
is a gainer also.
The acting superintendent of a chil
dren's home asked some boys on the
street what they were good for. One
little fellow, from the depths of his |
wisdom, answered: "We are the stuff \
they make men of. Give us a show." i
There is the text for a fine sermon. |
In this world we reap as we sow. The
-crop that goes into the ground Is the |
crop that will come out of the ground,
Whether you deal with wheat or boys,
you will get pretty nearly what you '
plant. Most of us have a hazy idea J
about the future of the boy. He Is a
young animal, with an abnormal ap
petite and a thousand faults. His fath
er tells him to avoid bad company, 1
hands out a moral lesson or two, when 1
he happens to think about it at all, !
and turns over the rest of the training j
to a mother, who, God bless her, weeps
and prays and loves, and knows prac
tically nothing of the pitfalls that are
an open book to her boy's father. How
an she warn him and explain things,
when in her blessed innocence she
doesn't know a tenth part of the
cussedness that exists in the world?
If you want the boy to be a successful
minister, doctor, lawyer or toiler at
any of a hundred trades, yon must be
gin to plan now—to think about next
year, and the time when he has
stretched out of his clothes and pays
an occasional visit to the barber. You
can teach him industry, even if his
task is no more than cutting the grass
in the front yard. You can teach him
to scorn a lie and love the truth; to be
kind and thorough and careful. You
can make him learn to save without
being miserly, and spend without be
ing prodigal. You can help him to
build a strong body, and that will be
better than money in the bank when
he reaches the forties. You can en
courage his natural goodness and
check his Inherited misclilevousnees.
You can make a good man of him,
and the burden of that duty is far
more with the parent than with the
child. It takes time and trouble and
effort. But it pays. There is nothing
finer in this world than a square, up
right, thinking, human being—the
highest type of God's work. So, don't
always think of a boy simply as a boy,
but as a man that he is to be—and
give him a show.
Doctor or Milkman.
It Is supposed that a person who
consults a physician will follow his ad
vice, and one of the hardest blows to
the professional pride of physicians
and Surgeons is the excess of wisdom
on medical matters which is posesssed
by the world at large. The New York
Times thus tells of a surgeon who set
a broken arm
The operation was successful and the
r
splints had been removed. I lie sur
geon advised his patient to leave off
the bandages and manipulate 'he in
jured member at Intervals.
Just as the doctor was leaving the
house the milkman arrived on his
rounds, and missing the splints, said
to the patient:
"You'll take cold in your arm. You
ought to keep it bandaged."
A few days later the surgeon called
again and found the patient, who had
followed the milkman's warning, com
plained of soreness in the arm, and
Diainea or soreness in me m m, una
said- "Doctor I think you've botched
'
it „
it. !
The doctor, observing the bandages
still on the arm, remarked, "And
whose advice are you taking now,
mine or the milkman's?"

FENCING FOR WOMEN.
Faction of Fashionable Bet in New
York Circle»—It» Hygienic Bide,
Fencing for women is one of the late
fads which has more than the mere ex
cuse, "It's fashionable," to commend
it. It is a comparatively new exercise
for women, although men have been
following the sport for the benefit it
does them for years. In the last cen
tury that strong Incentive to swords
manship, the duel, almost ceased to
exist, and, therefore, the practice of the
art was restricted to a very few. It
was only that the spread of the phys
iceal-cuiture movement for women
caused a search for light but vigorous
exercise, and some maitre d'armes saw
his opportunity and took advantage of
It
In a short time fencing became "the
thing" in the fashionable New York
set and the movement spiead to other
parts of the country. Many of the
feminine leaders of society are fair
fencers, although the necessity for
earnest and continuous practice pie
vents most of them from becoming
really proficient. Ordinarily women
make poor fencers. Not only do they
lack the strength necessary to good
work with the foils, but singularly
enough, they also lack that alertness
and agility which is characteristic o£
most things that they do.
Among .theartrical women fencing is
decidedly popular, Julia Marlowe and
Jessie Milward are adepts, and in the
classes conducted by M. Senac, who in
structed Miss Marlowe and Lillian
Russell, are Ethel Barryuiore, Elsie
de Wolfe and Edna Wallace Hopper.
Grace George is, however, probably
the best amateur woman fencer in
slight
America. Although young
she lias plenty of muscle and her eye
is as quick as that of any swordsman
She began the sport simply as
a ij V e.
an exercise with Frederick R. Graham
soon became infatuated with it
an <l, a ft e r learning all her instructor
could teach her, she joined M. Senac's
c ] a sses. Senac found her wrists like
steel, and before many months lie had
difficulty in maintaining his mastery
0V er her. Miss George has had many
friendly bouts in addition to her re
gular lessons. On one occasion she
worsted Walter Tremayne, a New York
expert, three times in succession, and
a t another she touched Miss Graham,
a professional fencer, six times in
twenty-three minutes.
j Miss George believes fencing the best
exercise in the world for women and
says that it brings into play every
muscle in the body, especially those
of the thighs, back, shoulders, fore
arms and hands, besides developing
the lungs. In speaking of fencing she
gays: "I am an enthusiast on the sub
ject because I believe its benefits are
more numerous than those of any otli
er form of exercise. It adds immeas
urably to the carriage. There Is noth
ing rough and tumble about fencing;
it is the gentlest of exercises. One
finds one's hair as neatly done at the
end of a bout as at the beginning. It
is dignified and invigorating, requiring
more skill than effort, and holds much
of excitement. One may learn to fence
tolerably In a year; exceedingly well
in two years."

His First Day at School,
She lost her little boy to-day;
Her e 5' es wel ' e moist and sweet
And tender, when he went away
^ dawn the 9treM '
She stood there for the longest while
And watched and watched him; then
She said—and tried to force a smile—
"He'll not coane back again."
Inside the house, her tears would come,
She sank into a chair
And sobbed above the battered drum
And trumpet lying there.
And trumpet lying there.
The sunshine stole into the place
It only made her sad
With thinking of the pretty grace
His baby tresses had.
She minded all his little ways;
She went to see his crib
Up in the attic; then to gaze
At platter, spoon, and bib,
And all the trinkets he had thought
So fair to look upon—
Each Qne of th thu murmnr brougM
„ My little boy ha3 Kone ."
she wandered through the house all day,
To come on things he'd left,
And O, she missed his romping play
And felt herself bereft!
When he came home, with shining eyes,
Tn tell of school's delisrht.
To tell of school's delight,
She kissed and held him motlierwise
With something of affright.
—w. D. Nesbitt in Chicago Tribune,
This is the pain in mothers' hearts
When school days have begun;
Each knows the little boy departs
And baby days are done;
Each mother fain would close her ears
And hush the calling bell
For, somehow, in its tone she hears
The sounding of a knell.
Avoid Stooping.
Many growing girls, especially those
* ° 00 "
taU for thelr age ' are illclined to stoop, !
and well meaning persons often advo- j
cate the use of braces or shoulder
straps as a means of correcting the
tendency. The braces may force an
upright carriage, but they do not give
the wearer any means of maintaining
it, since they prevent the exercise of
those muscles which should be trained
to produce an erect figure. Any exer
dse which strengthens the muscles of
the back and shoulders will aid in cor-,
recting this defect. Old-fashioned
mothers used to drill their stooping
daughters to walk with a plate carried
on their heads, and this is really a good
practice. High pillows and very soft
mattresses are blamed as an aid ln
producing this defect, and without a
doubt a flat, rather hard bed, with low
pillows, is preferable for growing chil
dren.

WOMAN ENTERED LION'S DEN.
r
When a dark-eyed young woman ap
plied at a Coney Island show ground
for a performer's job the manager
thought she could start in at selling
tickets. Miss Rhobie E. Lawrence
sighed and took the job for want of a
better one. There were two lionesses
and a lion in the show. Miss Law
rence was still ambitious and tried lier
hand at taming them. When she en
tered the cage one of the lionesses
clawed her and she was only saved by
the interference of a professional lady

BOY TALKED WITH LINCOLN.
Both Were Interested in a Big Ma
chine of Peculiar Construction.
A boyhood memory of Abraham Lin
coln, contributed to tlie Daily Eagle
of Wichita, Kansas, by Capt. W. T.
Burgess, reveals the great man in a
peculiarly gracious light. In 1858 or
'59 Captain Burgess, then a boy, pa^d
visit to his brother, Rev. John Bur
gess, at Springfield, Ohio. The State
fair opened about that time, and the
boy visited it.
One afternoon when he was strolling
about the fair grounds by himself,
young Burgess no'.ievd an immense ma
chine built of great timbers and some
what peculiar in its construction. It
was unlike anything he had seen. He
was alone save one man who was sit
ting on one of the beams of the ma
chine, and after vainly trying to make
out its use, the boy determined to ask
the man what kind of a machine it
"I stepped up close to him," writes
Captain Burgess. "His head was bow
ed down upon his hands seemingly in
meditation. I hesitated to disturb him
and was about to withdraw when he
arose and said:
" 'Well, my boy, are you trying to
investigate this machine?'
"I told him that I was, ami asked
him If he could explain it to me, and
he proceeded to do so, very clearly
and minutely. We went all over it
and nil around it, and finally he said:
"'How many yoke of oxen, my boy,
do you think It takes to drag this
machine?''
' I made a guess of e'glit yoke.
" 'Well,' said he, 'tii.y haul It with
eight yoke but when heavy ditching
is to be done they generally
twelve.'
"I think we must have spent an hour
at the machine, then the man said,
guess We had better go over to the
buildings and sie what is going on,'
and he laid Ills hand on my shoulder
and tallud to me ail the way.
"When we neared the buildings sev
eral gentlemen stepped forward to
greet him, and I went on by myself,
In search of my brother. I soon came
upon him, and he said he had been
looking for me. lie wanted me to see
Abraham Lincoln. We went into one
of the buildings, and my brother went
up to the very man with whom I had
been talking.
'• 'Mr. Lincoln,' said he, 'may I pre
sent my brother?'
"Lincoln turned round, and seeing
me smile, said: 'Why, this boy and
I are old friends. We've been talking
together for an hour.' At the same
time he put bis arms around me and
lifted me from the ground.
"This was the great Lincoln, and had
he never become famous and the Pres
ident of the United States, I still
should never have forgotten him. He
was so kind, so interested in my boy
ish queries, and so willing to give me
Instruction, and withal so noble in ex
pression and bearing that my heart
went out to him in love and admira
tion."

high heel faddists must
pay price for their folly
A N ew York "specialist is growing
wealthy operating on the pedal ex
•en ties of women who have become
addicted to the high-heel fad. He says
that during the post year the number
who have appealed to h ' m
has increased 90 per cent, and he at
tributes it to the ridiculous heel. This
phvsician is quoted as saying that the
case of a Chicago woman, whobe
was amputated because of malforma
French Peasant
tlon resulting from her shoes, does not
surprise him.
The wearing of the high heels brings
the weight of the body on the toes.
This causes a painful enlargement of
the joint, and of course causes corns
and ingrowing nails. The enlarged
joints mean bunions. The result will
mean flat feet in time, caused by the
falling of the instep. Then electricity
and a brace at the instep to support
the foot is necessary.
WOMEN WITH TATTOOED ARMS.
Many with Klaborate Decorations
Observed at Ocean Resorts.
A surprising number of young wom
en with tattooed Initials and devices on
their forearms may be seen on the
sands at the bathing hour down here.
As a majority of women who vis,t
Atlantic City are from inland cities,
mostly in the West, it would seem
that the tattooing fad which took hold
of New York women a few years ago
had spread to the interior.
A sumptuous-looking woman, with
lassie face and head, a great mass of
dark, wavy auburn hair, and a skin of
dazzling whiteness—the pallor of per
fect health—who appears on the beach
very morning in an extremely chic
black mohair bathing dress, Is called
The Python Girl" by the other bath
rs on account of the elaborate tattooed
device that covers her perfectly form
ed right arm from shoulder almost to
wrist.
It is a fine bit of tattooing, unques
tionably the work of a Japanese tat
tooer, in four colors—blue, red, brown
and gold. The device is that of a
python in battle with an eagle. The
snake is coiled around the woman's
plump arm many times, with occasion
al breaks between the coils, revealing
the snowy whiteness of the unneedled
skin, and the colors of the piece stand j
out with amazing detail and vividness.
A grizzled officer of the navy stooj
looking at the beautiful woman's tat
tooed arm at the bathing hour the oth
er morning, and then" lie turned away,
shaking his head sadly.
"Isn't it a dem shame," he growled,
"that so glorious a creature as that
woman should have permitted herself
to be market! up that way? It's bad
enough for us addle-pated men-o'
war's-men—what wouldn't I give to
get rid, even now, and I am an old
man, of the infernal tattoings that I
had stabbed into me when I was a cub
of a middy—but for a rampageous
beauty like that woman—it's a dem
shame, sir, a dem pity."—Atlantic

White House Heirlooms.
Those who feel an interest in the
famous heirlooms among' the white
house china will be pleased to learn
that, despite the completion of the new
service, many historic pieces will con
tinue in use. One of these is the im
mense punch bowl of the Lincoln ser
vice, which likewise bears the great
seal, and, like all the pieces ordered
by Mrs. Lincoln, Is ornamented in
maroon. The fruit baskets of the
Lincoln service are still in use, as are
also one or two of those of the "flower
set," ornamented in yellow, selected
by Mrs. Grant On the occasion of
small dinners at the white house there
are frequently employed portions of
the wonderful hand-painted china ser
vice obtained by Mrs. Hayes at a cost
of several thousand dollars. Every
specimen in this entire service has a
different ornamentation, representing
the fauna and flora of America.—De

His Bright Thought.
They stood in the darkness, hand In

"Dearest," said she, sadly, "what

"Why, you know," said he, smiling
thoughtfully down at her, "I always
think that with so much space there
ought to be room enough for every
body."—Minneapolis Journal.
Have the Emigration Fever.
The "American fever" Is spreading
so fast in Norway that the authorities
are becoming alarmed. The country
is very sparsely settled, having only
about 2,000,000 inhabitants. Of these
28,000 emigrated last year, mostly to
America, and the indications are that
that figure will be nearly doubled this
year.

Latest Tlsing in Kisses,
The new scientific kiss is not a kiss
at all. Those great men who study
the dark ways of the wily germ and
the ubiquitous bacillus frown upon
lip-kissing as an indulgence leading to
disease. Consequently, when two fail
women meet they formally lift their
veils and the velvety right cheek of one
I is pressed for au Instant against the
satiny left cheek of the other, say«
an observer. This is as nice a sub
stitute for the old and dangerous meth
od of greeting as the most demonstrate
ingly affectionate individuals could de
sire.
Certain husbands, brothers and near
est cousins to rosy cheeks, who have
experimented with the new method,
declare that It is "not half bad,
though hardly up to the standard of
the old style kiss.
It is considered as rude to offer to
press the cheek of your friend without
lifting your veil as it is to kiss Up
fashion through the' dotted mask, or to
offer your left hand for shaking.
